If Connectors Available

If ~~knowledge base is connected:

• Search for existing runbooks to update rather than create from scratch
• Publish the completed runbook to your ops wiki

If ~~ITSM is connected:

• Link the runbook to related incident types and change requests
• Auto-populate escalation contacts from on-call schedules

Tips

1. Be painfully specific — "Run the script" is not a step. "Run python sync.py --prod --dry-run from the ops server" is.
2. Include failure modes — What can go wrong at each step and what to do about it.
3. Test the runbook — Have someone unfamiliar with the process follow it. Fix where they get stuck.
